by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com

The reliever is 3-1 with a 0.78 ERA and opposing batters are hitting .171 off him over 15 appearances with Round Rock.

Cotts has appeared in 284 major league games with the White Sox and Cubs for a career ERA of 4.63.

Josh Sale ready for reinstatement
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(6:47 pm ET) Rays minor leaguer Josh Sale is eligible to be reinstated from his 50-game suspension for using performance enhancing drugs, but the team is waiting as he's dealing with a stomach virus, the Tampa Bay Times reports. He will be reinstated in a few days. 


Jemile Weeks 'playable' at shortstop
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com

Oakland skipper Bob Melvin is hearing from the Triple-A people that Weeks "is very playable" at shortstop.

Weeks could become an option at shortstop down the line. For now, he's hitting .285 at Triple-A over 165 at-bats with two homers, 16 RBI and eight stolen bases. 


Hiroyuki Nakajima adding to versatility
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com

Manager Bob Melvin wants Nakajima to play as many positions as possible in order to make him more versatile at the major-league level in the future. His 20-day rehab assignment is up Wednesday and the A's will make a decision on him at that time. Nakajima is batting .250 at Triple-A with five RBI over 40 at-bats.
